Stir-fried tofu & broccoli with soy & brown rice, How to Make

Step 1

Combine the cornflour and salt in a medium bowl. Add the tofu and toss to coat. Shake off excess.

Step 2

Heat a wok or large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat until just smoking. Add half the tofu and cook for 1 minute each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining tofu.

Step 3

Place the sherry, soy sauce, sugar and extra cornflour in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Heat the remaining oil in the wok over high heat. Add the onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and chilli. Stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the broccoli is bright green and tender crisp. Add the tofu and sherry mixture. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until the tofu is heated through.

Step 5

Divide rice and stir-fry among serving dishes to serve.

Notes:
Cook’s tip: Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if necessary when stir-frying the tofu in step 4 – the sauce should be thin enough to coat the tofu.
